Feeler: what are people’s thoughts on paying an extra $5-$10 list base price for a lighted switch on the d4 and d4s? What if it was an option you could add that costs $5 or $7 or $10 (I have no idea how much it actually should cost - between material and man hours of assembly/complexity).
I have to assume that Hank is not doing The lighted switch in the aluminum d4 because the d4 is the most economically priced light he has, and I’ve read a comment from TK that it is the hardest light to assemble Hank has, and his break even between time and material is probably not worth it on the already inexpensive d4. And then I must further assume he has hesitations about raising the price on the most popular light he sells, after all you know how people love To share their feedback so calmly and courteously (lol).
I’m just saying, I would gladly pay $5-$10 extra, especially if it was an option whether I wanted to or not. I think others may feel the same way? Is $5-$10 way to much? Not enough? I’m trying to open up the floor here for discussion hoping Hank will read it. I want this lighted red or warm white switch light on a cyan or gray colored d4. Or a green backlit switch on a green d4s! Drool! Lol.
cool, nice to know about the costs and where you stand. I feel like $5 is fair too, although id honestly pay $10 too. I hope more give their opinion. maybe a thread should be started about it instead.
Yea, i noticed the copper taken off too… probably saved me $90 lol
Whoa whoa whoa… Um, I have I never heard of (MAEERXU.NET), and I just went to that website, and wow! i really like their stuff.
Who is Maeerxu? Are they their own Manufacturer? Can you speak to their quality / ordering process / customer service? I may order the (Maeerxu DF01-AL-18650 Four-Lamp Glare Flashlight) right now.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: i AM going to order the “Maeerxu DF02-AL-14500/16340 Three-Lamp”, Unless someone tells me this company is terrible, or something…? (not that i’m expecting that, being a little facetious)
Edit #2: i dont feel bad saying this in Hank’s thread, i have placed 8 orders with him this year.
Ok, well… good to know. Yea I know nothing about exotic/custom lights, I mean I’ve seen a couple pics but that’s it. Thanks for the heads up. Not ordering.
Yeah, some of their models are near exact clones of Hanko Machine Works lights.
On another note, I bought a Green D4Sv2 to go with my 3 OG models. My v1s are 2x XP-L HI 5D and one SST20 5K. Couldn’t decide which to go with this time around so I went with SST20 4K. Thought about a W2 version, but didn’t see the use for the throw.
Not sure if anyone saw, but Vapcell has a 10-15A 6200mah 26650 now. No experience with it though, I usually run the 5300mah cells.
